Network Management Card
Quick Configuration
The cooling unit is shipped with a Network Management Card that enables the cooling unit to be managed over
a network. Configure the Network Management Card to control this cooling unit through a network.
Overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Network Management Card can operate on a
network:
• IP address of the Network Management Card
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
NOTE: Never use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway for the Network Management Card.
Doing so will disable the card and will require you to reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a local serial
login.
NOTE: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet
as the Network Management Card and that is usually running. The Network Management Card uses the default
gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.
See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the User Guide for more information about
the watchdog role of the default gateway.
TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the Network Management Card:
• Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration
Wizard” on this page.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 32.)
• Local computer (see “Local access to the control console” on page 33.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 33.)
